Sony WH-1000XM5 vs Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless
Sony WH-1000XM5 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless compared on driver size, active noise cancelling, battery and weight, plus price.
The Sennheiser Momentum 4 takes the ranked battery row outright: 60 hours with ANC on against the Sony's 30, and it launched $50 cheaper at $349.95. The Sony WH-1000XM5 takes the ranked weight row, 250 g against the Momentum 4's 293 g.
That is one ranked row each. The Momentum 4 also publishes the larger driver, 42 mm against 30 mm, but driver size is not ranked, so it does not decide the page. Pick on whichever of battery or weight you value more; on these numbers it is a genuine split.
